Amy found the key of the car that Richard and the others drove. The fisherman came to the car carrying Richard on his back and put him to the back seat of the car. Amy was driving the car while the fisherman was sitting in the front passenger seat. They were taking Richard towards the county’s hospital.
“What’s wrong with him? Has he been maltreated?” After checking Richard’s wound and health conditions, the doctor of the county shook his head repeatedly.
“Doctor, so what could we do now?” Amy asked the doctor cautiously.
“I will give him an anti-inflammation injection to stop the inflammation from spreading. You have to go to the city because the medical conditions here are very bad and I can’t help him with such a serious illness,” the doctor sighed.
‘The city? How far was it?’ Amy was very worried.
“It’s okay. I can give him two injections to control the inflammation, but after you should go immediately to the city. It’s more than twenty kilometres away from here. Take care.” The doctor was also unequivocal. He prescribed the medicine and gave Richard two injections, then he let the fisherman leave carrying Richard on his back.
“Sir, just tell me how to go there. You must have something to do at home. If you come with me it will take you a lot of time.” Amy felt that she had already made the fisherman lose a lot of time, so she was very embarrassed.
“It’s all right. You won’t be able to carry him after a while. Let me go. There’s nothing going on at home, just selling fish. My wife already knows it.” The fisherman was also a very warm-hearted person. He fished Richard out of the sea, so he must be held accountable and wouldn’t allow him to have any accident.
Amy looked gratefully at the fisherman. She didn’t say anything but just drove the car towards the city.
The mountain path was very rugged and bumpy. The fisherman always hugged Richard in his arms in order to protect him from bumping too much.
Twenty kilometres away, though not very far, but the road was not easy to travel and it took more than two hours to drive there.
When they got to the hospital, the fisherman got out of the car carrying Richard on his back and ran upstairs. He was also anxious. Amy was looking for her wallet in the car and when she found it, she also followed out.
“The patient’s condition is very critical. We need to send him immediately to the emergency room to save him. Where are the patient’s relatives? Go to pay.” The doctor checked and found that his situation was very serious. He let Amy pay and after he arranged immediately the emergency room for Richard.
The red light of the emergency room was on all the time and Amy and the fisherman were also very anxious.
“Sir, drink some water.” Amy went to buy two bottles of water and handed one of it to the fisherman.
“Thank you, thank you.” The fisherman quickly thanked. He was very thirsty and he just had been too nervous to think about drinking. When he saw the water at that time, he opened the bottle and drank it in one breath.
“Let’s eat something. It seems that we still need to wait for a long time.” Amy also bought some milk and bread and handed it to the fisherman.
The fisherman got red-faced. He left in a hurry without carrying anything. At that time, Amy bought something for him, which made him feel very embarrassed.
“I just left in a hurry and I didn’t take any money. When I go back I will return it to you.” The fisherman’s simplicity made Amy’s heart warm.
After staying with Matt Wilson for such a long time, Amy felt that she had a cold heart, but when she met that couple of fishermans, she realised that there were still a lot of good people in the world.
“Sir, don’t be so polite. If it weren’t for you today, I wouldn’t have had the strength to carry him until here.” Amy forced the fisherman to take the milk.
At that moment, the fisherman didn’t act politely anymore and knew that only if he was full, he would be able to help Amy run errands after a while.
